Defining GARP

The Generic Attribute Registration Protocol (GARP) is a general-purpose protocol that registers any network connectivity or membership-style information. GARP defines a set of devices interested in a given network attribute, such as VLAN or multicast address. When configuring GARP, ensure the following:

•The leave time must be greater than or equal to three times the join time.

•The leave-all time must be greater than the leave time.

•Set the same GARP timer values on all Layer 2-connected devices. If the GARP timers are set differently on the Layer 2-connected devices, the GARP application does not operate successfully.

To define the GARP settings on the device:

1.Click Layer 2 > VLAN > GARP Settings. The GARP Settings Page opens:
